Iraqi forces recapture Mosul mosque from Isis with officials calling it ‘declaration of defeat’ as its revealed terror group is losing £50M-a-month

BRAVE Iraqi forces have heroically recaptured the infamous Mosul mosque where ISIS declared their caliphate signalling the end to the evil terror group.

The Joint Operations Command confirmed the news saying: "Counter-Terrorism Service forces control the Nuri mosque...," before Iraqi PM Haider al-Abadi declared it an "official declaration of defeat," by the death cult.

ISIS claimed on its Amaq propaganda agency that the site was hit in a US air strike, but the US-led coalition said it was the jihadists who had "destroyed one of Mosul and Iraq's great treasures".

Russia has said it is seeking to verify whether the ISIS leader, whose whereabouts have been unknown for months, was killed when its warplanes hit the group's leaders in a night air raid in Syria last month.

The mosque's destruction came three days after government forces launched an assault on the Old City, the last district of Mosul still under ISIS control.
